The Peculiar History Of The Sect Known As The Quakers

Jim McNeill

Who were the Quakers?
Why were they persecuted?
Why did they stop being radical?
How did some of Bristol's Quakers become so rich?

From James Naylor's blasphemous ride down Corn Street to William Penn being
given Pennsylvania to Abraham Darby laying the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, this pamphlet, the first of two by Jim McNeill, explores the history of the
Quakers in Bristol.
